Pics, Videos, & Links / Re: highest running vertical ever?
« on: October 02, 2010, 08:09:19 am »
just a thought, maybe he had a fluke moment..I had some insane jumps when i am super relaxed, like 5-10inches more than normal jump due to being unnaturally calm for no cause

5-10 inches???  :o

I've had that with ~2-3 inches but a 10 inch increase out of the blue from being relaxed.



I'm not attcking you BMully, everyone is different and i just felt like posting the pic  :P

i don't lie, i got super relaxed in a game and almost dunked with 2 hands, head was heigh as hell, this was 8th grade

Yes yes. And I won Mr Olympia. It was just a fluke. Im back to fat now again.

that is a physical change, not possible to do just like that..in times of extreme pressure or extreme relaxation, people can get super human abilities..that is how i grabbed rim as 13year old who could only normally get half way up, this one jump i got rim, then it took a while before i got it legit everytime...the cns is responsible for strength and power, we develope it to allow more, but it is always capable of that power

ya bmully is definitely right about a substantial performance increase, verkhoshansky referred to it as the 'innate (protected) reserves'.. in which access to that strength/force output is restricted, but through years of proper/aggressive training, athletes can keep improving how much they can tap into it at their own will.. i mean, i remember i was jumping shitty say 5 months ago, then that cop pulls me over, and i jumped like 3" higher after alot of fatigue, that wasn't even life or death, but that small adrenaline response/heightened cns arousal lead to some gains..

level-7 = PR city.


True. But claiming a 10" sudden increase is idiotic. Thats like when Rip claimed that crazy crazy sprint time because he saw a spider or something like that. Actually I dont remember if it was Rip, but someone did claim to run a crazy time, faster than world record speed.


btw yes, that was rip that ran a WR after having a spider on him :D

Hehe. I thought I remembered it. :highfive:

Yes, athletic improvement can increase during certain circumstances we all know (Lev 7 MANG). Yes 10 inch vert increase suddenly is about as likely a sudden 100lbs improvement in the bench. And yes this is a long quote, quote, quote, quote, quote. And we all know that rip pr'd becuase that spider was a super duper mega jumping spider, and when in landed on rip, some of the exlposive and elastic qualities of its legs were temporarily fused with rip's Bi-legged frame.



show me the video of ripp doing a wr in 100m after a spider jumped on him

No vid. Only story.

correction, "No vid. Only true story."

Can I quote again? Looks like fun.

Was it fun?

It definitely was, it's like the LEVEL-7 quote training.

This thread is epic. I only pr when running after the bus

I PR when on massive amounts of caffeine & when my legs feel light.

I tend to jump best when a smoking hot bitch will give me something as a result of great dunking ability.

I know, but doesn't that apply to anybody that's heterosexual?

i jump REALLY good when hot chix are around.. i say to myself, "land this dunk and they will leave their pathetic boyfriends for me".

Why would you want a girl that has pathetic boyfriends? Or is this the kind of girl that looks the best?

well, their boyfriends might not actually be pathetic, that's just my perception of them because the sexy female is not with me. They are probably very successful, nice, charitable, respectful human beings, what do i kno.



I doubt they are. From what I know about women, which is very little, they all like guys who beat them and love other women, so these women can cry and think about how great it would be if the guys wouldn't do all these things. :(

possibly, but that illustrates our differing views, you, the pessimist, me, the optimist.

:P

So you're optimistic about your chances to :P a woman?

NFL is da shit!!!

true a better hurdle...but cushings is 260 lbs so he gets to play the weight card for jumps.

x2
I totally respect heavyweight good jumpers , i posted Jukebox's jump just because i found it in my subscription page right after seeing Cushing's video.
Still , hurdle jumps are kinda lame (vert-wise ) , just like box jumps.

Bball training.
Breaths , pop , strength , jumps , all good.
Got a 30'' dropstep jump and a 32,5'' 2-steps DLRVJ.
32,5'' is a season best , it's also just 0,5'' before "dunk attempt" status.
Good shit...

:P

Injuries/aches: Left shoulder bugging , its a permanent thing , triggered whenever i go jumping ( sudden hyperextensions ) after a long time.


damn, make sure you warm that shoulder up real good then.. shoulder rotations, maybe 'dislocates' with a rope, shoot around for a bit maybe.. really loosen it up.

pc

Yup , i allways do a good warmup on it , rotations , towel dislocates etc , it will still hurt. Nothing much though , its an age-bonus , as i've posted again you just learn to live with those pains :D

How many inches do you think you give up on DLRVJ on concrete vs. wood?

Depends on the wood , there are some specific courts that have super bounce , i get 1-2'' there.
I think i jump about the same with concrete on "average" wooden courts.
Having said that , i can do much more maximal jumps on wood , the absorbtion on landings really makes a difference. And also i am not afraid to give 100% im my plant , on concrete i am always afraid of slipping. Jumps are also more 'easy' and 'smooth' on wood.
So the real difference is that being able to do many jumps and give 100% in each , you are more sure you will have one true max jump in there.

how about making a post/sticky that has acronyms so us newbies can go find out what it is?  usually i can kinda figure it out but sometimes i'm just totally lost and have to google (and in this case bss google results = not relevant).  seems like it would cut down the time a lot for newbies if it can be gathered into a single post.  :-)


Good idea...
